The tech world in general has a well-documented problem with diversity and Drupal is by no means immune to that, but the Drupal community at least makes a strong effort to buck that trend, very much to its credit and benefit.

Now, in my first contact with Dries, he asked me "To step down from Drupal", including as a Drupal advocate for the PHP community, "In the best interest of the project".

We expect members of the Drupal community to be respectful when dealing with other contributors as well as with people outside the Drupal project and with users of Drupal.
